Packman is a package manager for Python that simplifies the process of managing dependencies and environments for your Python projects. This tutorial will guide you through the steps of installing Packman on Void Linux.
Before we can install Packman, we need to make sure that pip is installed on our system. Pip is the package installer for Python that allows us to install and manage Python packages with ease.
To install pip on Void Linux, open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo xbps-install python3-pip
This will install pip on your system.
Virtualenv is a tool that allows you to create isolated Python environments for your projects. This is important because it allows you to install different packages and dependencies for each project without them interfering with each other.
To install virtualenv, run the following command in the terminal:
sudo pip3 install virtualenv
Now that we have pip and virtualenv installed, we can install Packman by running the following command:
sudo pip3 install packman
This will install Packman on your system.
To verify that Packman has been successfully installed, run the following command in the terminal:
packman --version
If Packman has been installed correctly, you should see the version number of Packman displayed in the terminal output.
That's it! You have successfully installed Packman on your Void Linux system. You can now use Packman to manage dependencies for your Python projects.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
